This Ragged World We Spanned versuri

This Ragged World We Spanned lyrics by Jefferson Hamer

We set out for allegory
On the ship of the damned
A chorus of wild devils
This ragged world we spanned, boys
This ragged world we spanned

Along the Cascade Highway
In your grandpa’s Grand Marquis
The wheat fields of eastern Washington
Rolled on to the sea, boys
They rolled on to the sea

Past the houses and the Hoovervilles
And the cities in decay
I try each day to replace you
But it’s never been the same, boys
It’s never been the same

No I won’t wait any longer
For a ship that won’t come in
I won’t wait for you to come around
We’re starting out again, boys
We’re starting out again

And time slows as we travel
And winged feet suit me best
Oh we could live forever
But we have to stop and rest, boys
We have to stop and rest
Oh we have to stop and rest, boys
We have to stop and rest

So let the choir sing freely
And the silence be well pinned
To the trumpets of the sunrise
And the of sighing of the wind, boys
The sighing of the wind
To the sighing of the wind, boys
The sighing of the wind
